Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 4-Inch Paring Knife

The FOUR STAR knife series from ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is the top-selling collection worldwide. This celebrated range, honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, embodies safety, ergonomics, and comfort. The seamless transition from bolster to handle ensures the knives are comfortable for extended use. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard.

Crafted from a proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected over 280 years, the FOUR STAR knives are made using ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening FRIODUR technique. This results in blades that are harder, sharper, and resistant to staining or chipping, retaining their sharpness for longer. The SIGMAFORGE precision-forged design from a single piece of steel ensures an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The 4-inch fine-edged blade on this versatile knife features slightly curved surfaces on both the back and the cutting edge, terminating in a sharp point. The pronounced tip makes it ideal for peeling and cutting fruits, vegetables, and preparing meats. This is one of the most versatile knives, a must-have for the kitchen of any aspiring chef.

The FOUR STAR series utilizes Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which allows three different grades of steel to be combined into a single piece, fusing the blade, bolster, and tang. This results in a strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime.

Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is one of the world's oldest and most respected cutlery manufacturers, creating best-selling knives guaranteed to last. The FOUR STAR series was first introduced in 1976 and designed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs, featuring a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle.

The FOUR STAR line contains knives for all tasks, including parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef's, Granton edge slicer, Santoku, and others, available in a range of block sets and gift sets.

The FOUR STAR knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard, resulting in improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The Friodur ice hardening process contributes to corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention.

The comfortable, break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast polypropylene handles are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. The super bolster provides weight, ensures safety, and adds balance. With a Rockwell Hardness of 57 and an edge angle of 15 degrees per side, these knives offer excellent edge retention and sharpness.
